ecoEXPLORE
ecoEXPLORE is a program for kids that helps them learn about nature while having fun. The program mixes hands-on science activities with easy-to-use technology to encourage kids to explore the outdoors and take part in community science. When kids upload photos of plants or animals, scientists can use those pictures in their research. Every photo taken earns points, which can be traded in for prizes!

Whether you’re a longtime visitor or exploring Dix Park for the first time, there’s always something new to uncover.
